VERITROOPER SCOUT — READ ME FIRST

This package is evidence from one Scout run. It is not a legal opinion,
conformity assessment, or blanket certification of the system under review.

1. VERIFY BEFORE REVIEW

   does not prove that every underlying assertion is substantively correct.
   Compare the displayed signer fingerprint with a value received separately.

   remediation, review-date, and sign-off records. It is not a fourth product.
